FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-arch support?
The shoes come with a standard removable insole. If you require specific arch support, you can easily remove the stock insole and replace it with your own orthotics.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash them, as the agitation and heat can damage the GEL cushioning and synthetic materials. Surface cleaning with a damp cloth is best.
Are these suitable for long-distance marathon running?
The Gel-Contend 10 is designed as a reliable daily trainer for casual running, walking, and gym use, rather than a specialized shoe for elite long-distance marathon racing.
Do these trainers provide good grip on gym floors?
Yes, the durable rubber outsole is designed for excellent traction, making them stable on standard gym surfaces and paved paths.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
ASICS trainers generally follow standard sizing. We recommend measuring your foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest and comparing it against the manufacturer's size chart.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the synthetic upper is designed for breathability, which means it is not waterproof and may absorb water during heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Insole sliding during movement
Remove the insole, ensure the interior of the shoe is clean and dry, and press it firmly back into place.
Accumulated dirt on synthetic upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, it is recommended to keep them dry and away from direct heat sources. Because the insole is removable, it can be taken out after particularly intense sessions to air out separately, which helps manage moisture and prevent odors. For cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the synthetic adhesives. Ensure the lacing is adjusted to your preferred tension before your first run to allow the synthetic upper to naturally conform to your foot shape.
